capturing energy
the ultimate source of energy that powers the cell is what
sun energy converted into ATP
when white light passes through a prism the light spreads out into an array called what
the visible light spectrum
substances that absorb light are called what
pigment
process of photosynthesis two phases
light reaction(light dependent reaction)involves the trapping of light energy
dark reaction(light independent reaction)use the products of ATP from the light reaction to form glucose
what is glycolysis
breaking down glucose into two smaller molecules called pyretic acid
photosynthesis requires what three things
sun energy, raw materials, and chlorophyll
light energy comes in packets called what
photons
chlorophyll acts as what during photosynthesis
a light trap
the exchange of gasses between organism and environment are called what
breathing or respiration
cytoplasm
the raw materials need for photosynthesis are what two things and these are what in the reaction
CO2 and H2O reactants
why can you see the color you see
its the color reflected by the object
electrons are stretched like rubber bands when they snap back energy is released what is this called
the electron transport chain
cellular respiration is is and enzyme controlled process in which amounts of energy are given off and then trapped in what
molecules of ATP
glycolysis is a what reaction because no oxygen is required
anaerobic
the end products are what
O2 and glucose
what color do plants not absorb
green
plant pigments include what three parts
chlorophyll (A and B), Xanthrophylls (yellow), and coratiens (orange)
the energy currency of a molecule is called what
ATP
if oxygen is present you get what type of resperation but if no oxygen is present what occurs
aerobic respiration, fermentation
what is the equation for photosynthesis
CO2+H2O sun=C6H12O6+O2
why are plants green
plants are green because that's the one they don't absorb
what is a chloroplast 2 parts
thylakoid- disk like membranes that contain chlorophyll
stroma- space outside and in between the thylakoid
breaking of chemical bonds of organic food molecules and releasing energy that can be used by cells is called what
cellular respiration
to get the reaction started you must input how many ATP and then how much do you get out. And what is your net gain from glycolysis
2 ATP makes 4 ATP and get a net gain of 2 ATP
